2.Continue adding a few ounces of oil at a time, until the oil reaches just below the threads. Be careful not to overfill (Figure 10 page 19).

3.Fill the Gas Tank with fresh, unleaded gas (with a minimum of 85 Octane), to approximately 1" to 1- 1/2" below the bottom of the Fill Neck to allow for Fuel expansion (Figure 10 page 19). Be careful not to overfill and reinstall the Cap before starting the Engine. See your Engine Owner’s Manual for more information.

NOTE: To refill the Gas Tank, turn the Engine OFF, and let the Engine cool at least two (2) minutes before removing the Gas Fill Cap.
